Leah Paul - Bike Lane

17

Leah Paul’s new album “Bike Lane” is a collection of composed music featuring Chris Speed (clarinet,) Jessica Pavone (viola,) Katie Young (bassoon,) and Leah Paul (flutes.) The pieces Leah has written for this group explore the lush range of textures and timbres these instruments have in common, while maintaining her rich melodic sensibilities. The inspiration for this album is the ever-merging scenes of classical, improvised, and rock music that are unique to New York City. It is composed chamber music channeling pop structure, with an improvisational spirit and feel.
